Default New U-bolts, where and how much?

Ordered a 3 inch BB last week and its gonna be here in a couple days. It comes with 3"spacer, 1.5" shackle, and 1.5" block (i know, i know dont wanna hear it) and the new U-bolts were optional to buy even though you have to have them. Long story short i didnt feel like paying rocky road 60 bucks for U-bolts i could get for half the price or better. What are the specs on the U-bolts i need with the 1.5 inch blocks? Got the chrysler 8.25 out back. Also what local stores sell the U-bolts? '

Sorry for the horrible grammar, kind of out of it today

NAPA should have them, or atleast know where to get them in your area.

autozone might have them. look at the block lift kits they have. I found my mine there. bought the whole kit for $20 and never used the blocks. I did have to trim them once installed but ive put 20,000 miles and no pro blem yet with them.

They aren't axle specific, just take one of your old u-bolts with you, match it up and get it longer, after instal cut the extra off. My Orielly's has a good selection of 1/2" u bolts.
